Korean food adventure with Keith. We are good at over ordering. (Taken with instagram)

Yes, I think I will take eating my breakfast while sitting outside on a gorgeous pre-summer morning. Even if it’s just a Starbucks spinach and egg white wrap.
Washington Square, Brookline, MA.
I love a saucy redhead.
What I looked like before Googa Mooga: cute sundress, gold sandals, all around put together.
Post Googa Mooga…that is another story.
- The sun - gearing up for a beautiful day here in NYC, perfect for a day of eating (waiting in line for) good food and listening to music at Googa Mooga!
- D’Amico’s coffee. Roasted and ground in Brooklyn, it’s the best.
- Getting our full NYT instead of one with all the good sections missing.
- 1-800-Contacts customer service. Nicest, most helpful people in the world. A real person actually picks up on the first ring!
- Our new Le Creuset grill pan. Way too expensive, but we can finally grill things and pretend we are doing it outside in the sun instead of in our kitchen.
- Google Chrome. So far superior to other browsers.
- My Kate Spade sale order arrives this week - new green “Portola Valley” wallet, new bright spring green “Signature Spade” coat with yellow polka dot silk lining. As a redhead, I am all the way on board with lots of green.
- Nike Training Club. A workout app that actually works you out. Sweated out a 30 min cardio workout from it yesterday and was huffing and puffing by the end.
- The prospect of spending 5 whole days in Boston next week. When I go home I never have enough time to see everyone I love. Hoping to do the best possible job of cramming them all in before and during the holiday weekend.
What’s helping you crack a smile today?
Even with the lengthiest cool down session, my face remains so red after a hard workout that I walk around for a good hour or two looking like a tomato. It’s super attractive.
Politicians have accused them of destroying “the fabric of this country.” But as one daughter attests, they’re actually stitching it together. (via In Praise of Single Mothers - Gayle Tzemach Lemmon - National - The Atlantic)

“Perseverance, perspective, determination, the need to clean up your own messes and confront your own problems, no matter how difficult. Above all, resilience. And the importance of realizing how much you have, even when “much” feels like nothing”
As the daughter of a single mom, I can say that this article is spot fucking on. I had that car ride brat session and my mom nipped it right in the bud just like the author’s mom did. Still remember it to this day, still thankful she taught me to honor and value the many, many good things I had in my life. Most importantly, though I sure did not always show it, her.
It makes me sad and incredibly angry that there are people in this country who espouse the ridiculous notion that women (and men, for there are awesome single dads out there) like this are somehow harming our country. It is so short-sighted and hateful I cannot even stand it.
Happy birthday Jess!!! (Taken with instagram)
How I feel on a non-crowded LIRR train home after a gorgeous day spent in the sun with friends at Long Beach. The beach pre-summer is the best (though PSA: still wear lots of sunblock).
